Title: The Winternight Trilogy
(The Bear and the Nightingale, The Girl in the Tower & The Winter of the Witch)
Author: Katherine Arden
Publisher: Del Rey UK
“Witch. The word drifted across his mind. We call such women so, because we have no other name.”
Beware the evil in the woods. . .
In a village at
the edge of the wilderness of northern Russia, where the winds blow cold
and the snow falls many months of the year, an elderly servant tells
stories of sorcery, folklore and the Winter King to the children of the
family, tales of old magic frowned upon by the church.
But for
the young, wild Vasya these are far more than just stories. She alone
can see the house spirits that guard her home, and sense the growing
forces of dark magic in the woods. . .
